​​10 Things Social Purpose Organizations Need to Know About Volunteer Engagement

​​​​​​​​​​​​​Featuring Jessica Pang-Parks

​Volunteer recruitment is only one part of the puzzle. To build a truly engaged, mission-aligned community, organizations must think beyond sign-up forms and start stewarding volunteers through every stage of the engagement cycle.

​In this session, nonprofit engagement strategist Jessica Pang-Parks will guide you through the full volunteer lifecycle—from recruitment to retention and recognition—and share how thoughtful volunteer engagement can strengthen trust, deepen relationships, and even unlock new revenue.

​Whether you’re struggling to retain volunteers or looking to build a stronger community around your mission, this session will offer the tools and perspective you need to take your volunteer strategy to the next level.

​What you’ll take away by attending:

​ • A fresh perspective on why volunteer engagement matters more than ever

​ • The full volunteer engagement cycle (and where your current strategy fits in)

​ • Language and tools to better articulate your volunteers’ impact

​ • Tips to evolve your stewardship approach in a changing nonprofit landscape

​If you’re ready to reimagine how your organization works with volunteers, this session will help you do just that.
